<b>Leica</b> 42 HD-PLUS model <b>binoculars</b> are almost as compact as the 32 mm models, allowing comfortable and ergonomic handling and a steady grip. Yet they provide light gathering capabilities close to the 50mm model and, thanks to new coating methods and special HT Glass from Schott, they guarantee improved light transmission and therefore brighter images and an even wider spectrum of contrast.
